I guess it's a matter of definitions. If by 'sketch' you mean something (anything) that is drawn on paper using a pencil, then of course, it can be a deliverable. If it communicates a solution, like you say here, yes, it's a deliverable. If by 'sketch' you refer more to the activity of sketching in the sense that Buxton describes, as a tool to define and map a problem and maybe ask questions about it, then it probably doesn't (or shouldn't) describe a solution. When it doesn't offer the solution, it's not a deliverable. At least not in the way I understand deliverables (I know any word can be made to mean anything on this list :) )
